Powered Hang Gliding Instruction

Interactive flying at its best! Due to the fact that traditional tandem hang gliding is so subject to constant weather variations, we offer instructional powered hang gliding. Our new FAA registered N630PH Cosmos Trike is one of the most reliable, stable, quiet and fun light-sport aircraft in the world. This aircraft features tandem seating in which the student is in the rear and the instructor in the front; similar to riding a motorcycle in the sky! The two place hang glider offers dual control from either front or rear seats and has a backup ballistic parachute system; a level of additional safety enjoyed by relatively few aircraft.

Your instructional flight includes a two way intercom system (headsets) enabling easy communication between student and instructor. Helmets are provided and flight suits are also available. During your flight you will learn the basics of weight-shift control, aerodynamics and aviation safety as well as a bit about weather and its affects on aviation. A wing mounted camera is aboard to record your experience for a nominal fee.

Flights leave from Carson City Airport and are scheduled throughout the morning. (Reservations are required and subject to 24 hour cancellation policy.) Add this experience to a day in Tahoe for a vacation adventure long to be remembered! Maximum weight for students is 250 lbs.
